CRIME STOP

 All is quiet at present in Bitou. Part of the reason is that the crime combating unit from George was here over the weekend. They came to our area to help stabilize the Bossiesgif confrontation situation. The hobby beach parking spot was problematic with two cars broken into. People on holiday are in a pleasant mood, quite rightly so, but at the same time one must be realistic and be careful wherever you are. 

Unfortunately crime in our country has no boundaries. Residents in the 'Poortjies' area are very much aware of this situation and the residents are helping the Police by patrolling the streets and the beach late into the night... for which the Police are most grateful. 

A gentle request however if for anyone aware of suspicious behavior in the street to immediately report such to the Police station and not to do so the day afterwards! PLEASE... after numerous requests in this column do not leave your laptop unguarded. Another one was stolen from 'Le Valliant's apartment complex. It seems like there is some inside information forthcoming. Unity makes strength...please keep the Police informed about anything you feel uncomfortable about. The number to dial 044 533 2100 or 10111.
